You might like the political climate better, but it’s an expensive state. $900k doesn’t go that far if you want to live within 20mi of the city. for $900k with an acre you’re going to need to move further out from Boston. Electricity, car Gas, Natural Gas, food etc. is far more expensive. Real estate taxes are brutal and we have a state income tax. Just make sure you look at the total package because it’s a lot.
